  1. Oxidation Numbers

  2. Oxidation Numbers • An oxidation number is the charge (or the apparent charge) of an element in a formula. +1 -1 NaCl +1 -2 H2O 0 Fe +6 -2 SO42-

  3. Oxidation Numbers • The sum of the oxidation numbers for each atom in a formula is ALWAYS equal to the total charge of the formula! +1 -1 NaCl +1 -2 H2O 0 Fe +6 -2 SO42-

  4. Oxidation Numbers • The oxidation number for free elements is ALWAYS zero (0)! • The oxidation number for monoatomic ions is ALWAYS equal to the charge of the ion! 0 0 0 Na Cl2 S -2 -1 +1 Na1+ Cl1- S2-

  5. Oxidation Numbers • When they are bonded to different elements… • The oxidation number for group 1 elements is ALWAYS +1! (except hydrogen) • The oxidation number for group 2 elements is ALWAYS +2! • The oxidation number for silver (Ag) is ALWAYS +1! • The oxidation number for zinc (Zn ) is ALWAYS +2! • The oxidation number for aluminum (Al) is ALWAYS +3! • The oxidation number for fluorine (F) is ALWAYS -1! Na Ca Ag Zn Al F

  6. Oxidation Numbers “The Sweet Sixteen Elements”

  7. Oxidation Numbers H • The oxidation number for hydrogen is USUALLY +1. In hydrides, the oxidation number for hydrogen is –1. • The oxidation number for oxygen is USUALLY –2. In peroxides, the oxidation number for oxygen is –1. In OF2, the oxidation number for oxygen is +2. O

  8. Oxidation Numbers • The more electronegative element is assigned the negative oxidation number • In BINARY formulas, the oxidation number for: • group 17 elements is USUALLY –1. • group 16 elements is USUALLY –2. • group 15 elements is USUALLY –3. Cl S N

  9. Oxidation Numbers • In ALL formulas for compounds and ions, metals ALWAYS have a positive oxidation number. • In MOST formulas, the first part is assigned a positive oxidation number and the second part is assigned a negative oxidation number. +4 -2 +1 -1 -3 +1 NO2 NH3 KBr
